About twice a week I talk about music, movies, or other things I like. Pre-Covid, I went to a lot of gigs and used to upload videos from those filmed by my friends. Sometimes I do short videos of creative work, but mostly its just me talking about stuff I love.
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 403 :The Nirvana posthumous discography 1994-2024. 26 August 2024
After "In Utero", Nirvana toured, and then, somewhat predictably, it was over with Kurt's death in April 1994. Bootlegs exploded, "Unplugged In New York" was released, a live album was abandoned (then resurrected), weird coffee table books came out, then a torrent of box sets, reissues, live albums, and other stuff.. I also talk about the audiences relationship with the art and artist, and the Universal studio fire of 2008 that destroyed huge amounts of unreleased, unheard music. 26 August 2024.

MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 402 : Depeche Mode.. the ranking! 15 August 2024
Переглядів 320День тому
15 studio albums, 9 live releases, 61 singles... Depeche Mode have been busy. Having been a fan for 35 years, and talked about every period of their long journey, today I do a ranking, talking through my preferred albums, eras, tours, and live releases. And some of their early stuff is not... good. 16 August 2024.
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 401 : The Stone Roses 1988-1991. 08 August 2024
Переглядів 25514 днів тому
The Stone Roses, Britains most over-rated band, made a fabulous debut LP, released in March 1989. Preceded by "Elephant Stone", "Made Of Stone", and followed by a remixed "She Bangs The Drums", the inevitable "Fools Gold" and "One Love", the band then disappeared from view, whilst their label released shoddy remixes of "Waterfall" and "I Am The Resurrection", and "I Wanna Be Adored", a concert ...
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 400 : The Smash Hits Silly Questions Page! 6 August 2024
Переглядів 13521 день тому
I normally try to get in a guest for a big number, but for 'guest', this time around I mean the Smash Hits Silly Question page. Things I'd never considered or thought of get a thorough examining, from the world's biggest spider to What Would You Do If You Were Prime Minister? Usual band related rubbish coming up in future episodes. 06 August 2024.

It's a heatwave, and I can't focus long enough to do a full episode about a specific LP, so instead I bribe* the 14 year old to pull out some stuff off my shelves and I talk about them. Great choices here - a book, a 7", a LP, a CD, a DVD, and a Blu Ray! I do wonder how I have so much rubbish in my head floating about, about everything I own. If I forgot it, I could remember something useful! 2...
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 398 : Pulp "INTRO" 1992-1993. 25 July 2024.
Переглядів 140Місяць тому
"Intro", Pulp's first compilation is effectively a lost Pulp album, showing how, with good material and careful sequencing, what can be regarded as 'mere B-sides' can be, in the right hands, classics. Some bands just don't write bad songs, and this is a fabulous collection of material, offering a cohesive exploration of a neglected, working class world written out of much culture, an alternate ...
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 397 : Kraftwerk's "The Mix" 1987-1993. 16 July 2024
Переглядів 395Місяць тому
With "Electric Cafe", Kraftwerk were at a crossroads. Hit by a creative slump, Ralf and Florian decided to upgrade and build a new digital studio, bringing on board Fritz Hilpert, redesigning their entire operation and reimagining their body of work with a more dynamic sound and new elements. Frustrated by a lack of equity and creativity, Bartos left the band after a short 1990 tour, and a new ...
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 396 : Red Dawn... or Election Special! 15 July 2024

So we have a new government! And that means that the Prime Minister is in the same book as me! And its not so much a Labour win as a Conservative loss, however, with 411 seats in Parliment, maybe Britain is finally getting better after 14 years of managed, incompetent decline. If you don't like politics... pop music is coming up soon. 15 July 2024.
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 395 : The Mission 1986-1987 "The First Chapter"+"God's Own Medicine".9 July 2024
Переглядів 159Місяць тому
The Mission, Leed's answer to Led Zeppelin, are a part goth, part rock band who split off from The Sisters Of Mercy in later 1985, and became very much their own thing. Originally toying with calling themselves The Sisterhood, they quickly released 2 EP's on Chapter 22, were snagged by Phonogram/Mercury in a 7 LP deal, and started gigging and recording furiously, with the singles "Stay With Me"...

It's my birthday, AC/DC are playing Wembley Stadium and they have a pop-up store and bar in Camden, so we went to the pop up store, filmed a guided tour for you... and then went to see AC/DC . Which I didn't film! 04 July 2024.

With 29 studio albums, 23 live albums, and about 4,000 best of's and compilations... David Bowie was prolific. Having talked about every era individually, I now talk through my ranking of his live albums, studio releases, and also pick out one specific unofficial release, one rarities set, and one best of as my favourites. There are some rules : only material Bowie himself knew about and / or a...
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 392 : The Stone Roses "Garage Flower", early years. 27 June 2024
Переглядів 2022 місяці тому
Few bands arrive as fully formed perfection, and The Stone Roses (Britain's most overrated band), certainly took their time, with two singles - one great, one not so - and an unreleased album to mark their evolution into their full potential. The album itself, abandoned when the label ran out of money to release it, was produced by Martin Hannett, is a fascinating curio of a band in transition ...

"What's In The Box?" Screams Brad Pitt. "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?" Well. I don't know, and neither do I... time to look in a bag of goodies chosen by the 14 year old : 1 7", 1 LP, 1 book, 1 CD, 1 DVD and 1 BluRay. Here we go! Anything embarrassing? Let's find out. 25 June 2024.
MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 390 : Pulp On Fire, The Early Years 1978-1991. 23 June 2024
Переглядів 1822 місяці тому
Pulp's relatively obscure early years, from 1978 to 1991, saw a slow coalescing of like minded freaks and weirdos over three albums - "It", "Freaks" and "Separations" - and a number of small selling singles (mostly collected into the "Masters Of The Universe" compilation), as Jarvis Cocker found a gang that formed in Sheffield, and, despite hapless record companies who created enormous delays b...
